X. ACTIVITIES

CAPInv. 890; see also I.Délos 2124, l. 1). |
XI. INTERACTION
| i. | Local interaction | The synodos honored a Roman freedman who was a member of the Italian community of Delos (see 'Honours/other activities'). |
XII. NOTES
| i. | Comments |
Homolle (1879: 374, no. 14; cf. Poland 1909: 560, no. B 166b) restored [ἡ] σύνο[δος τῶν Τυριών εμπόρων] καὶ να[υκλήρων], [he] syno[dos ton Tyrion emporon] kai na[ukleron] (ll. 1-2) and suggested an identification with the known association of Tyrian emporoi and naukleroi (CAPInv. 12), but this is questionable. Roussel and Launey (eds. of I.Delos 1799) render the beginning of the text as [ἡ] σύνοδ̣[ος τῶν -- -- -- ἐμπόρων?] καὶ να[υκλήρων?], [he] synod[os ton -- -- -- emporon?] kai na[ukleron]. Cf. Roussel 1987: 95, n. 5. |

XIII. EVALUATION
| i. | Private association | Probable |
| Note | Although I.Délos 2082 is fragmentary, the terminology (synodos) combined with the nature of the text (honorary) makes it very likely that the inscription concerns an association. |
